Hacking Dumberly

Fun talk by Tim Medin of Red Siege Security on trying the dumb hacks first before going all advanced zero day. Good advice, and remember if it’s stupid but it works, it might not be stupid.

Deepfake! Deepfaaake!

From South Park’s Trey Parker & Matt Stone w/ Peter Serafinowicz of Look Around You, comes this latest bit of absurdism and satire. Originally conceived as a movie, it was regrettably derailed by the pandemic and now exists as a great youtube short. Check it out.

Rock & Rule

Anyone else catch this on T.V. as a kid in the 80s? Given the nature of broadcast programming back then, I never knew what the actual show I was watching was called, but I managed to catch it twice, and Mok’s theme song has always stuck with me. I was today years old when I […]

Bad Religion is Still the Best Band

Look, it isn’t their best banger, but It hits me right now as I cry about my misspent youth and not finding the way. Bad Religion is correct(at least more correct than most) Take a watch and let the young punker stand-in for your fears

Two Minutes To Late Night

Just discovered this youtube channel Two Minutes To Late Night and they are putting out some bangers. Evidently they’ve been putting together a pandemic series of bedroom covers featuring some of the biggest names in metal and rock for awhile and the covers are siiick! Also, probably no small coincidence that the Ozzy cover above […]

The Bug Hunter’s Methodology V4

Since I am participating in Bugcrowd’s October Challenge Month I thought I would present to you the ever awesome @jhaddix’s bug hunter methodology talk from this year’s DefCon Red Team Villiage. He’s been giving and revising this talk for many years and this is an awesome version. As I work on my own project fro […]

Texas Folk Punk

Thanks to my friend not-Stuart, I’ve been introduced to these darlings of the Houston folk-punk scene and am going down the rabbit hole of projects that this cast of characters produces. Jesse Sendejas, the singer-guitarist has bands ranging from the popular Days N Daze to straight up punk outfit Decathect. Give-em a listen and maybe […]

New Stuff in Ska

Starting to hear some buzz about stuff getting hot in the DIY ska scene. Particularly about Bad Time Records and the new music they are putting out including their new Ska Against Racism comp. Here I’m going to feature Catbite, which is my favorite new band off their label, but check out a bunch, this […]

Plato’s Cave

Like many School of Life videos, the above is a great introduction to the story and background to what is known as the “Allegory” of Plato’s cave. I appreciate their effort, and love their work, but like most philosophy students steeped in western thinking they hear and see and mouth the words but pull back […]

How’s Hell Treating You?

Tomorrow I’ll regale you with a post about Plato’s Cave, but for now, one of my favorite bands of all time telling it like it is. Life in Hell by NoMeansNo. You should really get your mind together and start looking for the exit, but meanwhile the Wright Brothers and Tom can elucidate your position.
